Strikes me as kind of an interesting question. My 1st blush is Buzz Williams, but he moves too much and hasn’t really had the success to be comped that way. Maybe Sean Miller? Thoughts?

Forget recency bias.  Matt Painter

I like Sean Miller.  Arizona MBB feels like a PSU FB level program.

Bruce Pearl?  Tennessee and Auburn aren't quite Penn State level programs with really high expectations, but he went 20 years with a lot of good teams flaming out in the tourney and he never made it past the F4.

Calipari at Kentucky... (not a large enough body of work at Arkansas yet)

 Brad Brownwell but probably not enough ncaa tourney appearances 

And always escaping the hot seat. 

Until, well…

Welcome to the B1G, coach McCollum.

Alford would have already posted bail and put him in the starting line up.

KU just announced that they’re giving Jeremy Case the title of Associate HC. Interesting. He wasn’t Self’s lead Assistant and once Jacques Vaughn got there if they were gonna give that title to anyone you would just assume it would have been him.

Delivering on a Wednesday.  Heading to OT. Nov 3rd can’t get here soon enough.    Freeman for Auburn looks legit.   Nice scout by the new staff on evaluating talent.  Would of been a nice pickup

This does the old heart good. The kid Newton stuffed is Kareem Stagg, who’s a 6’9” athlete. Really hope Jakai can get back to some facsimile of the player he might  have been.

Wishing that kid the best. Impressive display of athleticism.

Sheesh.  I know they put more of their rev share towards bball than the rest of the SEC, but that's a huge number that I almost don't believe.  Only 9th in the preseason AP too...

Gonna be funny when they don't win it all.

[Home Jersey]

These player skill projections from Evan Miya take each player’s game-by-game history and quantify their skill level in three-point shooting to predict how well they will perform in that area moving forward. These projections adjust for important contextual variables across their career, including opponent strength, offensive usage, expected year-by-year improvement, and recent form.

Wilkerson at 17. Purdump is only school with two in the top ten.

Yeah, some of the number are big.  This is pretty crazy for sure.  They might be borderline too deep without enough top end.  They need a recruiting coordinator, lol.  Lots of guys expecting to play won’t.

Also notable from the post immediately above yours; not one of those projected top 30 three point shooters is on that very expensive Kentucky roster.
